Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana presents numerous boss encounters, but the initial challenge awaits players in the form of Dularn, The Creeping Shadow. This first boss fight often represents a significant difficulty spike for players.

Dularn is the first true test of skill, and multiple attempts are common before victory. However, understanding his attack patterns significantly shortens the fight.

How to Conquer Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

The battle begins with Dularn encased in a protective barrier. Direct attacks are ineffective during this phase; focus on evading his attacks until the barrier dissipates. Once the barrier drops, unleash a flurry of attacks. Dularn's health varies based on the chosen difficulty. While players can retreat to regroup, defeating Dularn is mandatory to progress.

Avoid proximity to Dularn while his barrier is active, as contact inflicts damage. Attempting to attack during this phase will likely result in defeat.

Dularn's Sword Attacks

Dularn summons multiple swords to attack. Learn these patterns to effectively evade them:

• Descending swords: These swords rain down from above.
• X-shaped assault: Swords form an X and then home in on the player.
• Linear thrust: A straight line of swords advances toward the player.

The homing projectiles can be challenging. While the barrier is active, circling Dularn provides space to dodge the first two sword attacks. However, jumping is crucial as a secondary evasion technique. For the linear thrust, a well-timed jump is essential.

Exploit the barrier's downtime to inflict significant damage. Each barrage of attacks triggers Dularn's teleportation. Upon reappearance, maintain distance to avoid immediate barrier reformation and damage.

Dularn's Energy Blasts

Dularn unleashes two types of projectile attacks:

Fireballs

Evade the fireballs by strategically moving between them or jumping over them. Combining movement and jumping maximizes your chances of avoiding damage.

Arcing Slash

This large blue slash is unavoidable except by jumping. This attack often coincides with Dularn's vulnerability, serving as a cue to attack.

Mastering the attack patterns is key to victory; grinding levels is unnecessary.

Rewards for Defeating Dularn in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Victory over Dularn grants access to the Ignis Bracelet, a magical bracelet enabling fireball attacks, becoming a valuable asset throughout the game.
